When artist and author Samantha Dion Baker reached out to us about her new book Draw Your Adventures we knew it was a perfect fit with our mutual passions for adventures big and small and having the right supplies for them. A sketchbook can invite you to approach something in your daily life from an adventurous place and notice something routine in a new way. Together, we curated a limited-edition set of essential travel-sketching tools to get you started. The Draw Your Adventures Set includes a fineliner pen, Blackwing Pearl pencil, Aquash Water Brush, favorite travel sketchbook by Stillman & Birn, and our versatile Explore Palette with a custom-printed drawstring bag. Also included is a signed bookmark by Samantha.

Samantha Dion Baker is originally from Philadelphia, where she grew up in a family of artists. From printmaking to graphic design, her academic and professional life has always centered around art and creating. Now a full-time illustrator, artist, and author, her favorite thing to do is wander the city streets and travel with her family, drawing all of the things she does, eats, and sees in the pages of her sketch journal. Samantha lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and two sons. She is the author of several books, including Draw Your Day and Draw Your World.

We have loved collaborating on projects with Samantha over the years! Learn more about Samantha Dion Baker on her website, and on Instagram.
